Is Meraviglia cabin 10211 obstructed?

[flahagan]

Thinking of booking the Meraviglia for next March and cabin 10211 came up when I selected balcony.  I was told by an agent that this was an obstructed balcony but I don't see how it could be up on deck 10.  Can anyone tell me what the obstruction would be?  Thanks.

The only way I see that it could be  'obstructed' is that the cabin is situated in the recessed part of the ship, so visibility to the right and left from the balcony is hindered by the ship jutting out on either side.

Thanks, that's what it looked like to me also.  Seems odd that it would be classified as "obstructed."

It is not obstructed by the definition that usually apply to obstructions i.e. a physical object, such as a lifeboat or gantry or similar,  is inferring with the view from the balcony or widow. What the balcony does suffer from is a limited field of view caused by the physical structure of the ship, As it is in the middle of a recessed area the limiting is not very much compared those balconies near the edge of the recess.

 

Hope this allays your fears

Thanks Skier52.  I don't think that would bother us one bit.  I've sailed on Divina when she first came to the U.S. and really loved the ship - the European vibe, the entertainment, all of it.  I've been wanting to do another MSC cruise and the Meraviglia has an itinerary that has some new ports for me so thought I'd give it a try.  I'm a bit put off by some of the reviews that talk about feeling too crowded, but I was just on Oasis in March and dealt with it OK so not too worried.  I might go on and book it now, don't know if a "deal" will be coming up next weekend for Memorial Day promos though.
